Siggy’s side of the operation had been running fairly smoothly up until now.
When he’d arrived back home, his parents had some fairly pointed questions to ask about where he’d been and why Ari had been with him; but their relief at seeing the two back after a few days quickly managed to paper over that crack, leaving him able to focus on Lucas’s plan.
Unlike Leon, he’d been more willing to take a backseat role; with Examon’s size making infiltration impractical, him and the severely depleted MonoGigimon had agreed they’d cover the outside of the building whilst Lucas took things up inside. They’d also been joined by MirageGaogamon- or rather, Gaomon. After his attack on Imperialdramon, the Knight had reverted to his Rookie form, and whilst he could regain his Mega level at any time with his spirits, he’d stayed in his current form when he offered to help out.
Currently, the three of them were sitting on top of a small building with a clear view of the skyscraper that housed Tokugawa Heavy Industries; and none of them seemed happy.
“That fucking idiot,” Siggy snarled to himself as he watched the smoke billow out of the 75th story window, as he whipped his phone out of his pocket.
“You want me to cover this?” Gaomon asked, a handful of orbs of light briefly emerging around his body- but Siggy gestured for him to wait.
“I’ll have to see what Lucas says,” He quickly replied, before he quickly got to work on contacting Lucas. Thankfully, his friend seemed to be just on the ball as he was, and he answered quickly.
“Siggy. Who am I going to have to punch in the face after this?”
“Take a wild guess,” Siggy groaned in reply, before he quickly continued with- “Look, Beelzemon only just entered the window- if I send Gaomon in now, we might be able to stop him before he compromises things any more than they already are.”
“Go for it. I think they just put the building on full alert, though. I’ll call you back later. Leon, let’s go.”
As Siggy heard the click from the other side of the line, he quickly turned and nodded to Gaomon; who scarcely needed a moment before he dissolved into a flash of light and shot up towards the broken window in the near distance. In the light of day, the canine was practically invisible as his spirits transformed him midflight- nobody outside or inside would be the wiser as he slipped in after Beelzemon.
“What about us?” MonoGigimon took that moment to ask, looking up at his partner.
“Leave it to Gaomon, you’re the one who convinced me and Lucas to take him up on that offer, after all,” Siggy replied, slumping back down into the folding chair he’d bought up to the rooftop with him, “If things get any worse, then we can consider Biomerging and contacting Baihumon.”
